Pablo Escobar's brother sent Netflix a 'formal' and 'friendly' request to review 'Narcos' season 2 before it comes out

Pablo Escobar's brother Roberto asked Netflix to allow him
to review the second season of the hit drama "Narcos" before it
is released in September. The show depicts Escobar's rise to
become the most famous cocaine kingpin of the 1980s.

"I am submitting a formal, friendly request to review this
material solely on an informational basis. It is depicting me, my
life, my family, and my brother. I think nobody else in the world
is alive to determine the validity of the materials, butme," he wrote in a
statement.

Roberto was the accountant for the Medellín
cartel, and registered in 2015
for "successor-in-interest rights" to Pablo Escobar
and the Escobar family name in California. Roberto has written a
book about his time with the cartel, including a 1993
letter-bombing incident that injured him while he was in
prison. He also has
previously claimed to have found the cure for AIDS through
his work with horses.

Roberto's associates claim they have been trying to get in
touch with Netflix since last season of "Narcos."

"We tried to contact Netflix after we had registered
the rights to Pablo, prior to Narcos being released with
noresponse,"
Escobar Inc. CEO Olof K. Gustafsson said in a statement. "I think
it is important that they recognize Roberto Escobar's wishes to
review the show they are putting out, ensuring the family and
viewers of an accurate portrayal of Pablo and
Roberto."
